    Subscription Model For IBA

    When done correctly, gross revenue goes up, average ticket goes down and most importantly, net profit goes up. Yes, you will wash more cars. You have to use a system that allows people to sign up easily in an unattended environment and protects from abuse. (Abuse is washing multiple cars on...

    Issues with a new SecureCoin

    From your description, it sounds possible that the acceptor was not reinstalled into the bracket correctly. (jamming again shortly after cleaning, and then falling out of the bracket) Good luck with whatever acceptor you try next. David

    Issues with a new SecureCoin

    Microcoin is the best that I have used. I have used multicoin acceptors from Securecoin, IDX, Ginsan, and Slugbuster. Microcoin has been virtually trouble-free. I have experienced jams for two reasons, 1) the acceptor isn't correctly aligned in the bracket. It can be a little finicky to click...

    Nayax card programming

    UtahYoutubeGuy has it right. If you get stuck, there is a Nayax University link in the upper right hand corner of the dashboard that has good information on adding cards.

    Tap readers

    Yeah, I'm aware of their tap solution, I'm more curious as to whether or not it has changed so much that what OP said is true, that it only offers one of his 5 criteria. My current WashCard system meets everything asked for in this thread but has other issues for me. I'm not sure I want to...

    Tap readers

    My WashCard system does all of those things except it doesn't accept tap, only mag stripe. Did they take away all of those features in the conversion to tap and app?

    I love new stuff too! New meterbox doors with Nayax

    Added credit cards and space for more functions. Disclaimer - I did not let my wash get this bad, it was a wash that was purchased this way.

    towel exchange program or free towels?

    We do a towel exchange. $5 to join and get your towel. Exchange it for a clean one anytime. No one gets a towel without either paying or trading one in. The only inventory loss is damaged towels which has not been an issue. We use a higher quality microfiber rather than the ultra cheap thin...

    Poll: I plan on taking a few days off this summer to relax.

    One of my favorite things about the business is making money when I'm not there. Going away while revenue still comes in is fun!

    PDQ Access - New Owner

    I might need some parts. We close on the wash next week, I will know more when I have keys.

    Gin San

    You can get a wiring diagram from Ginsan for the pumpstand. Dan may pop in this thread to help you out. I would recommend adding a low level switch to protect your pumps. I believe the low level switch connects to the terminal strip in the upper left corner labeled ABCDEF. You could jumper it...

    Air compressor

    Sounds like yours might be single phase? On a 3 phase I am sure the starter and pressure switch would have to be separate. Quincy makes a great compressor as well, I probably wouldn't have switched from Quincy to Emax except for the noise. We still have 3 Quincys at other locations

    Air compressor

    I just installed one in my tunnel, less than two months old but very happy with it so far.

    PDQ Access - New Owner

    I am purchasing a wash that currently has a PDQ Access. Does anyone know what the process is to get a merchant account setup and switch over to a new owner?

    Profile and center of the bay

    Are your "Forward, Stop, Backup" signs on the left or right of the bay? I have a theory that some drivers focus on the sign on the left wall and turn towards it without realizing they are doing it. When the sign is on the right wall, it seems to lessen the behavior.

    Recommendations on a new Auto Teller please

    You may want to start by deciding what you want the new machine to do. Do you want to offer monthly passes, codes or prepaid cards? Time of day promotions? Do you want the ability to offer buy ups? Chip and tap cc processing? Coins or bills for change? Are you willing to pay a subscription...

    New Touchless!

    Thanks for the the explanation. That is about what I assumed but wanted some verification from someone who has done it.
